These are such unusual vintage earrings. They are made from a baroque style pearl that is half cream and half champagne colored. I¿ve never seen another center pearl quite like it before. The pearl is surrounded by hand beaded turquoise pearl and crystal beads. They are all set onto a gold tone metal clip back earring. The workmanship on these earrings is amazing. In addition to the Alice Caviness signature on each clip, there is also the patent number 2733491, which dates that finding from around 1957. They measure 1 inch in diameter.
